Chapter 371 Naval Battle
Boom boom boom boom!
"Take the rudder! Fire the gun! Fire the gun!"
"The port side fire!"
"Prepare for the battle on the board!"[]
"Arrowman! Mage!"
"Get close to the friendly forces! Where did the first mate die??"
Just as fierce battles were being fought in the deep-sea fortress, a fierce naval battle was also being staged on the turbulent sea surface outside the fortress. Although the outer sea fleet of the deep-sea prison had been defeated, the remaining warships had joined with the player warships docked in the prison port and organized a large fleet, which actually blocked the [Revised Army] fleet outside the fortress.
"Damn, these Skywalkers..."
On the somewhat damaged deck in front of a huge wooden five-mass warship with a red lotus flag, a Naga nobleman wearing light green armor, with a long knife hanging around his waist, and fish fins near his ears were observing the burning sea in front of him with a silver Federation-produced high-powered single-mirror telescope. When he saw the warships controlled by players constantly pouring fire at their fleet, he couldn't help but cursed and pounded the railing beside him with his hands.
"Sir Gna! The Xiayun Sinks!"
boom!
Suddenly, a messenger shouted and ran towards him quickly, but just as he ran to a few meters away from the Naga officer, a ball of fire suddenly soared into the sky and landed heavily beside him. With a loud bang, the entire battleship suddenly shook. When the smoke of gunpowder slightly dissipated, a burning pit appeared where the fireball fell, and the messenger and several sailors around disappeared completely, only some broken flesh seemed to prove their existence...
"Damn it! This kind of firepower must be at least twenty-four-pound cannons. How did those Skywalkers get it!"
After shook his head hard and drove away the buzzing sound in his mind, the second in command of the [Reform Army], Gner Bertram, who was also aristocratic, raised the telescope in his hand again, but at this time, there were fewer warships belonging to the [Reform Army] on the sea. After all, the players' paths are always much wider than those of NPCs. Although the power of magic cannons is a bit uneven, overall, Naga players still have a considerable advantage. In addition, the players' relatively "advanced" tactics, the originally unstoppable [Reform Army] began to gradually fall into decline.
"Report to the captain! Our army sunks four two-masted warships and two three-masted warships!"
"Haha! OK! Communicate with the friend ship on the right, let them turn left at full speed and cut off the other party's retreat!"
On a five-masted battleship covered with iron plate armor, the commander of the Naga temporary guardian fleet, the president of the [Invincible Fleet], Quinton Steve, with red hair and a homemade white naval colonel uniform, was laughing while observing the battlefield with the telescope in his hand.
"Report to the captain! Queen of the Sea Snake and Queen Sayron's ships are coming to support!"
"Oh!?Really?"
Hearing the roar of his first mate, Quinton Steve immediately turned the telescope to the left, and two huge five-masted warships appeared in his sight, one of which was hung with the sea snake flag and the other with the Sairen flag. There were more than a dozen Sairen warriors with short staff flying above the two warships.
"That's great! I've seen their flagships. Although there are not many cannons, they are all heavy cannons with a caliber of 120mm! In terms of firepower, it is definitely no worse than a second-class battleship (the kind from the 18th century...). Especially with Sairen joining, we will definitely win!"
After saying that, he excitedly put down his telescope, then shouted at the flag bearer on the mast:
"Take flags on them, ask them to bombard the enemy's fleet on the middle line, and send Sairen to harass the opponent's left line."
"Abide by the order!"
After saying that, the sailor quickly blew out flag words. After the flag words were blew out, the two warships immediately slowly turned sideways, and then the huge cannon holes on the side of the hull quickly extended thick and long cannon barrels.
boom!
Half a minute later, accompanied by a shocking loud noise, the sides of the two giant ships suddenly spewed out a large ball of flames as if they had exploded. Due to the excessive recoil, people could even clearly see the positions of the two ships retreating several meters. At that moment, a sharp whistle quickly passed through the sky in front of the two warships...
Boom!
"Report to the captain! Two enemy two-masted warships were sunk!"
A moment later, two huge red mushroom clouds suddenly rose from the two warships on the middle road of the [Reform Army]. Among the countless flying wood chips, the two warships disappeared on the sea in the blink of an eye.
"hiss……"
Seeing this scene, Gner Betlem and Quinton Steve both took a breath at the same time, but the expressions on their faces were very different. Gner Betlem was shocked and pale, while Quinton Steve was infinitely envious...
"Have the customs of the Silver Federation gone to eat shit?? This kind of prohibited weapon can even be smuggled out!!"
"Oh my God! The big-caliber magic cannon is different. Those two sisters are really rich. By the way, a magic cannon with this caliber will cost at least 500,000 gold coins? They actually got ten of them at one go. Tsk tsk, if I were given it, the other party's flagship would have sunk to the sea long ago."
After putting the telescope in his hand into his pocket, Quinton Steve slowly pulled out the command knife at his waist, then pointed forward and shouted:
"Communication! The midline fleet, the entire army assault!"
"All army assault!"
Boom boom boom boom!
Accompanied by the fierce artillery fire, Naga's temporary frigate began to counterattack, and at this time the [Revised Army], which was at a disadvantage in artillery and did not have much advantage in number, began to show signs of collapse, and warships began to burn and sink. At this time, they were less than a nautical mile away from the fortress of the deep-sea prison.
"Sir Gner! The battleship submast breaks!"
"Sir Gna! The bottom of the battleship is damaged, and the gunners are stepping up repairs!"
"Sir Gner! The right-wing fleet is on the verge of collapse!"
Listening to very bad news, Gner Bertrame, with a gray face, had unknowingly grasped the railing in front of him into pieces. In fact, with their strength, it was impossible to break the outer sea fleet of the deep-sea prison. If it weren't for the help of the [Lord] team, they wouldn't even see the fortress. But now the [Lord] team has started rescue and it is impossible to turn back to help them...
"Damn it, do you really need to retreat like this... But if something happens to the leader, it should..."
"Sir Gner! The silver fleet in the rear sent a message!"
Just when Gner Bertram was in a dilemma, the messenger suddenly handed a piece of crystal to his hands.
"Hmm? This is!"
After taking a look at the text on the crystal, Gner Bertrame immediately showed an expression of ecstasy on his face. In fact, he also had a "helper", but that "helper" was somewhat concerned about participating in the battle, so he did not support them immediately. But now after seeing that they were a little unsuccessful, the "helper" finally couldn't sit still.
"Command! Right wing, left wing fleet approaches the middle!"
"yes!"
Boom boom boom boom!
"The enemy is almost out of reach! Don't let them slip away!"
Quinton Steve, who was commanding his flagship to gallop on the sea of fire and laughing and waving his commanding knife, seemed extremely intoxicated at this time. After all, the era of peace is really a very dull era for the navy, especially for him, who is eager to fight. He often dreamed of commanding warships to gallop on the sea, fighting one enemy after another, either cunning or brave in the battlefield of intertwined flames and steel, but in the end he would wake up and continue his mechanical life...
But since he entered the Yashan World, he finally found his own belonging and a sea of his own, so even in the age of ancient wooden warships, he was willing to accept it.
Whoosh~~~~~~~!
Suddenly, a very familiar but somewhat strange whistle sound came into Quinton Steve's ears. It's strange that in this noisy battlefield, he could actually notice this not-so-high sound...
"This sound seems to be..."
Bang~Boom!
"Um!"
Before he could recall the source of this sound, a violent explosion suddenly echoed throughout the battlefield. As a water column beside the ship soared into the sky, Quinton Steve felt the warship under his feet tremble suddenly, and instantly he could not hold on to the ground. The sea water that fell then directly wet his whole body.
"This is... a real naval gun! a real big caliber naval gun!! What the hell is it! How could this kind of thing appear in this game!"
When Quinton Steve struggled to get up from the ground, what caught his eye was a burning battleship, but his memory clearly told him that this giant three-masted battleship was pouring fire at the enemy intact a few seconds ago, and soon he remembered what kind of weapon was fired from before, and he was the most familiar with that weapon...
"Captain! The hull is damaged! But it has been repaired."
Boom! Boom!
Just as Quinton Steve tried to use a telescope to find the source of the artillery fire, another loud noise, and then two closer warships burned, and one of them was directly smashed into two halves by the artillery fire...
"Damn it! This power... is at least a naval gun above 200mm!"
"Captain! Sairen has detected this thing!"
After receiving the crystal handed over by the messenger, Quinton Steve immediately looked up, and a somewhat blurry picture soon appeared in the crystal. On a calm sea, more than a dozen wooden warships were surrounding a huge narrow silver warship. There were no sails or cables on the warship, only some metal buildings and nearly ten giant cannons placed on the turret.
"Metal...battleship! This is actually a real battleship! What country is the Silver Federation? How come it even makes such a thing!"
Seeing the artillery beyond the times on the silver battleship and the constant ejection of flames from the muzzle, Quinton Steve, who had a very helpless expression, threw the crystal to the ground, then waved his hand weakly and whispered:
"Order the fleet to quickly leave the battle, return to the fortress, rely on the defense of the fortress... This battle cannot be fought any longer. In front of that kind of warship, many wooden warships are targets. The only thing I hope now is that the other party dare not be too presumptuous."
